Beginner needing help with program

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a console app in visual studio 2010 that will read a set of numbers and construct a histogram that shows how many numbers are between each two numbers...if that makes sense. To clear it up, i'm looking for an output like:

0 - 10 ***
11 - 20 ****
21 - 30 **

So in that example, 3 numbers (*) have been found in the read file between 0 and 10. 4 numbers (*) have been found in the read file between 11 and 20 and so on.

Oh GCDEF…. Seriously! Is this homework? Do you know that? This guy said he was a newbie! We all start somewhere! And I didn’t tell him how to read the file, which I suspect he was actually looking for ;-))

Also, a vector for this problem will work, but is a totally top-heavy solution for what he wants that any good teacher will jump on immediately, thus teaching him a further lesson! But if he is a genuine “newbie” the vector solution will serve him well, and teach him his first step into STL – so a win-win, don’t you think!

Why are you policing these threads?

With 45 posts in 6 years, you're probably not familiar with how this forum works. We don't do homework for people, and that's very obviously homework.

And no, I don't think doing somebody's work for them is win/win.

I would advise you to come up with a consistent and meaningful style of indentation and alignment though.

I’m sorry, but I seriously do not understand what in God’s name you have for a bee in your bonnet about! If I do anything untoward then admin here will tell me and not you! And, words like p***ing are not very nice!

I am sorry if I embarrassed you over the int char thing! But that is not any reason to stalk my threads and hit me on “indentation” – I am on a Galaxy SII phone for Pete’s sake! Try indenting code on this thing.
